Question custom fields

Question custom fields can be used to track an extra property of questions.

Example usage:

1. In a language course a dropdown field could used to track reading, writing, speaking and listening questions.
2. A short text 'Checked by' field could be used to support the process of someone checking questions before they are used.

A site administrator, or user with the configure question custom fields capability, can create question custom fields in in Site administration > Plugins > Question custom fields.

Question custom fields will then appear as extra column in the question bank, and can be filled in when adding or editing questions.
